Embroidery Project II
Running time: September 2007 - December 2008
This time around we decided on a more *ahem* useful theme for the project!Embroidered items can include hats, gloves, blankets, stockings, cloaks, anything that you use to keep you warm. These and the embroidery on them should be researched and documented as well as possible, as we are interested in promoting research just as much as the embroidery itself!...

I started today with the embroidery of the first roundel for Anya's cloak :)...and I made some pictures of the pearls I collected till now:

...from the left to the right side: pearls sent by Bridget (not real pearls but they will be perfect for the gloves), Katharina (the colorful ones), Fiona and finally my own pearls on the very right side - you are great my dear friends!!! ...and many thanks for plundering your treasuries :)

Alenn, Odi, Halfdan, Drago, Ruven and Kasssa donated some money and ordered some pearls for Anya's cloak and as soon as they arrive they will forward them to me - thank you soooooo very much - you really rock! :DI am still waiting for the pearls Anya wanted to send me but she seems to be very busy at the moment and I don't want to bother her with this.

...btw. if you find some pearls that you would like to donate, please don't hesitate to write me a comment here or an eMail :)

...ok, I hope I will soon have a photo of the first embroidered roundel for you :)

...The embroidery should also be done at least 50% in a medieval stitch not normally used by you.

This time around the project challenge is open to everyone, so please email us to be put on the list of participants and to be invited to join the project blog!And keep in mind that the challenge isn't limited to one item per person, if you've got the motivation feel free to make more!
